How does Disney think they have any shot of beating Bezos? Will they just perform a merger with Amazon or will Bezos have to beat them down first and then perform a takeover?

But the chinks are notoriously the worst authors in the world.

What does Disney have to do with this?

Year of the Soyboy

Amazon is fucking unbearable to shop on anymore. I wanted to buy a simple military-style jacket, but it's absolutely taken over by RAGUCHONG sellers and knockoff shit.

>chinese science fiction
cool. finally the do something other than ancient china/three kingdoms type shit.

>the make everyone black to cash in on the Wakanda craze

Have they ever read a chinese story? Its like the power fantasy of a 12 year old

So just like western capeshit and comics?

WUUU KOOOONNNGGGGG

Three Body Problem getting a show and Condor Heroes getting localized, feels good man

>thinking being good or bad author matters when capeshit is #1 selling stuff nowadays

at least it's not chinese singing

Can someone explain amazons logo... is it an arrow or a sabre?

How many niggers are they going to use to ruin it?

>The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently pushing aside branches that block the path and trying to tread without sound. Even breathing is done with care. The hunter has to be careful, because everywhere in the forest are stealthy hunters like him. If he finds other life--another hunter, an angel or a demon, a delicate infant or a tottering old man, a fairy or a demigod--there’s only one thing he can do: open fire and eliminate them. In this forest, hell is other people. An eternal threat that any life that exposes its own existence will be swiftly wiped out. This is the picture of cosmic civilization. It’s the explanation for the Fermi Paradox.

He's a pretty good writer.

So it won't have any blacks in it?

>an analogy lmao
>he's a pretty good writer

Bezos is worth more than the walt disney company according to the 2 minutes I just spent googling.

I read the series last year, they're decent sci-fi. Can't wait to see how Amazon fucks it up.
